Why volume not showing up in Diskpart?

Diskpart list volume there are no volumes doesn't mean there is no data on the external hard drive, just that there may be some data that the computer doesn't recognize. Let's explore the detailed reasons why this problem occurs:

• Partition has been deleted or lost: When you accidentally delete a partition due to an operating system change or virus infection, the space becomes unallocated. As a result, the space will not be recognized as a volume, so diskpart will report that there is no volume.
• File system incompatibility: To Microsoft Window users, the computer recognizes your external hard drive by its file systems. There are four files system Windows can distinguish, including old DOS, FAT, FAT32 and the widely-used NTFS. If you create a volume with other file system and try to check the detail information in Diskpart, you'll receive the error message.
• File System Errors: Sometimes diskpart may not display any volume when there is data on the drive that the computer does not recognize. Therefore, due to corruption or file system errors, the error "Diskpart listing volume: no volume" will appear.
• The external drive has not been initialized: If the external drive is new and has not been initialized, the drive will not have a volume. Therefore, you need to initialize the drive and create partitions that Windows will recognize.

Summary
